Health & Safety

Anchorage values public health and community wellbeing. The city maintains strong safety standards and sanitation practices to help ensure meetings are comfortable and secure for planners and attendees alike.

Facility Sanitation

Anchorage convention centers, hotels, and meeting facilities are protected by state-of-the-art sanitation protocols. The Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center and Egan Convention Center both use VenueShield, an industry-leading set of cleaning and safety procedures. Major hotels have rolled out enhanced health measures: Hilton’s CleanStay program, Marriot’s Commitment to Clean, and others. Highlights include more frequent surface disinfection, sanitation stations for guests, and new cleaning tools like electrostatic sprayers and ultraviolet light technology.

Physical Distancing

New facility layouts leave plenty of space for meeting attendees to get work done while keeping a safe distance. Events feature individual food service and private table options, and convention centers’ flexible meeting space can be expanded to give your guests some extra breathing room.

Healthy Anchorage

Many businesses demonstrate their commitment to guest wellness with the Healthy Anchorage Pledge. This pledge assures visitors that local businesses are implementing best practices from the CDC and other health authorities. Look for the Healthy Anchorage logo for an extra level of reassurance while planning a gathering and sourcing vendors in Anchorage.
